The citywide art celebration includes exhibits, music, and dance at multiple venues throughout Kingston, including the comedy opera “Bon Appetit” at the San Severia spiegeltent, featuring soprano Lisa Jablow as Julia Child. The Taste of Kingston runs in conjunction with the festival, with the city’s culinary cornucopia offering tastings throughout the day. National and international talent join local creatives in this one day launch of an annual 11-day global festival beginning next year.
